FreeBSD Installing Stuff.

When I last tried FreeBSD, I liked it but for the fact I didn&#039;t install X and I couldn&#039;t figure out how to either. I was wondering if one of you knew how to do it. Example: installpkg *.tgz or rpm -ivh *.rpm. For FreeBSD, what are the packages called or their extensions? Thi s is just out of curiosity. Please answer in your leisure.
Thanks!

Re:FreeBSD Installing Stuff.

I just installed Freebsd 5.3 recently and having a hard time getting anything to work smoothly.

I installed the basic from the internet instead of cd, so maybe I will do a reinstall and use the cd for basic stuff.

I had to install xorg and it seems to be working, well I guess it is, but I had hard time getting gnome2 installed, errors. So I installed Xfce4 which seems to be working but couldn&#039;t get mozilla to work.
